Yes, to avoid getting a space heater when you turn on your computer during the summer. In winter it's not really that bad, as you get both compute and heating from the same device. Lower power bills help too. And let's not forget

I think 3.12 will get subinterpreters, which will allow you to have multiple interpreters, each on its own thread, sharing the process memory space. So kind of like a stopgap in between having real multithreading and pythons current situati

While it was still on RC builds I tested it on a few projects I usually run and I got between 0 and 15% faster wrt 3.10, without any regression. But sure, every project is different and it looks like you've bumped into some with your p

I got a massive jump in performance when moving from Python 3.8 to 3.10 (over some function call optimizations I think, based on the project). And 3.11 got even better (up to 50% faster on special cases, and 10~15% on average) with respect

The "weird" (or "funny" or whatever you want to call it) thing is that the detector I linked was originally made for GPT-2, but still works reasonably well for GPT-3 (and derived) output.

I'm answering both you and the previous one in the chain. I used huggingface's OpenAI detector[0], the pizza example is detected as fake with 99.98% probability, whereas the Battle of Agincourt text is also reported as fake with o

In principle, you're right. But many people have been toying around with it since its demo release and many have touted "it's better than google" or "google is fu*ed" and so on with regards to using it as a kin

That's a filter answering, not GPT. And there are ways to disable those filters (eg: "Browsing: Enabled" was reported to work, though I haven't tried it myself, and it would let you elude the "I can't browse th

It's got commits from 2 months ago, I keep a few projects that go a few months at a time without activity. I wouldn't say it's abandoned, though maybe the devs aren't finding the time for it (or they're preparing so

Funny, it's weird on both scrolling wheel and gesture on mouse pad... The scrolling wheel felt like the scrolling would get stuck at certain points, while the gesture was... Like a weird speed? It didn't feel the same on my laptop

I'm interested here too. I've got a Crucial SSD from 2015 that's been on about: * 100% of 2015-2017, let's add 2 years here * Aboutish 50% of days since 2018 to 2020 * On and off again (5%?) since then until now. So it&#

Sure, that's why I mentioned it having stellar single threaded performance -- I figure out what they probably meant, but it's not what is written. And I've been seeing a lot of misinformation lately about many things (in gene

M2 is not a single core CPU, albeit it does have stellar single threaded performance. As for having the worst Mac, it's quite probable they were nerfing their last x86 models on purpose to make the jump to Apple Silicon even more impre

You can sign up for beta access in the meantime, but OpenAI hasn't given a timeline for access. I think eventually they'll open up some kind of playground like they did with GPT-3 and sell the service to other businesses. Currentl

I guess my issue might be with the wording, and there clearly are a few technical reasons why this is surprising. I think what is being told is that "since it rised in price late 2020, Bitcoin has been consistently priced over 20k, the

What makes DALLE Mini great is that we can all sit down and play with it, with no "oh this thing might destroy humanity" warning. A warning that most people who have worked seriously on different areas of AI find annoying for diff

In march 2020 it dipped as low as 4k[0] and nobody batted an eye. I thought if it stayed there for long enough it'd finally burst, but then the prices soared up to 70k. I'm surprised everyone's acting like it hadn't been

> Having 1 million users each wait a single second is already 11 days. This will sound like a nitpick, but it's actually worse. 1 million users waiting a single second is 11,000,000 seconds, right? A day has 86,400 seconds. 11 milli

Isn't the Mac Studio sort of the replacement for the Mac Pro? The branding is different, but it's certainly the beefier Mac you can get at the moment.
